Mission Statement and Program Philosophy

The Team Sting Volleyball program is completely dedicated to providing its athletes with the technical, tactical and physical training to reach their highest possible potential.  We will strive to help each and every player regardless of age of ability to achieve maximum performance.   For the young player we want to develop a solid base of fundamental skill as well as a passion for the sport.  As players get older and progress through the program we want to provide the path to a level of excellence that allows each and every athlete to test their own limitations.   Only by constantly testing our limits can we truly find our potential.  This is the true measure that separates greatness from mediocrity and determines who will the Champion and who will fall short.  Champions are not always the winner of the final match.  But their effort and commitment to themselves and their teammates is the ultimate Gold Medal.

We want our athletes to understand what the term COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE really stands for.  That it is not a part time endeavor to be turned on and off depending on the mood or feeling of the day.  We also want them to understand what it means to be a part of a team and what the word TEAMMMATE really stands for.   A group of people who share a common goal together and the members of that group understand a agree to make the sacrifices necessary to make that goal become a reality.  These people learn that individual needs are put aside for the good of the team or the team is destined for failure.  We realize this goes against the “Sports Center” mentality where individuals have become bigger than their teams and making the 10:00pm highlight reel takes precedent over team success.   But, we also know that individual glory takes a backseat to team success every time.  Year after year we see one superstar after another wanting to be traded to a winning organization so they can finally realize their dream of playing on a championship team.  Being a part of a team and making the sacrifices and commitments to help that team achieve success is possibly the greatest single lesson to be learned from athletics.  It is truly a selfless commitment rather than a selfish one.
